    It was denounced years before it was released. A lot of folks were yammering about it without knowledge, including World Magazine -- a Christian tabloid. The sinfulness was on a grand scale. Hypocrisy was running rampant --still is. In its pages since the 20teens it has run ads for other Bible versions using inclusive language. The very things that Al Mohler, Piper, Grudem& Co. were denouncing in the past have now been embraced. Witness the CSB which as close to the text of the 2011 NIV as can be. It's more similar to it than the NET Bible.

    The Csb is about the same as the Niv 2011, so there are better translations to use for serious bible studies!
    they could have avoided all by just updating the grammar, as the Nkjv did with Kjv, and not mess around with that gender inclusive language!

    They had the right way to update the Niv, and in their zeal to promote their issue, chose that way!
